GEP supports connected equipment capabilities across Freestyle, dispensed equipment, coolers, digital racks, IoT-enabled assets, and future equipment ecosystems. As GEP continues to modernize and connect its equipment platforms, cloud architecture will be critical to enabling secure, scalable, reliable, and supportable technology capabilities across the global equipment ecosystem.\nThe Director, Cloud Architect will define and guide the cloud architecture, modernization strategy, operational readiness, and technical roadmap for GEP platforms and supporting applications. This role establishes architecture patterns, technology standards, governance practices, and cloud foundations that enable scalable application delivery, platform integration, data movement, security, observability, and future digital and AI capabilities.\nThis is a senior individual contributor architecture leadership role responsible for setting GEP cloud architecture direction and providing hands-on technical leadership for strategic initiatives and complex issues. The role will partner closely with Product, Engineering, Platform, Unified IoT, Security, Operations, Data, Operating Units, Bottlers, vendors, and external delivery partners, while working within the broader enterprise architecture and technology framework.\nKey Responsibilities:\nDefine GEP Cloud Architecture and Strategy\nEvaluate existing cloud architecture, applications, infrastructure, integration patterns, and operational capabilities across GEP; identify gaps and opportunities; and define target-state architecture and modernization roadmaps aligned to enterprise standards and business priorities.\nLead architecture decisions across AWS, Azure, SaaS platforms, connected equipment services, APIs, data integration, and supporting enterprise technologies.\nDefine reusable architecture patterns and reference designs for application hosting, integration, networking, identity, security, data movement, observability, resilience, and deployment.\nPartner with GEP Engineering, Platform, Unified IoT, Data, Security, and broader global architecture teams to ensure architecture standards are implementable, scalable, secure, cost-conscious, and operationally sustainable.\nLead Platform Modernization and Technical Roadmaps\nDefine and maintain technology roadmaps for GEP cloud platforms and supporting applications, including modernization, migration, lifecycle management, technical debt reduction, and capability expansion.\nLead cloud migration and transformation initiatives, including evaluation of workload suitability, dependencies, sequencing, risk, operational readiness, and transition planning.\nBalance strategic architecture direction with near-term delivery needs, platform stability, security requirements, supportability, and business value.\nEvaluate emerging technologies and recommend practical adoption paths based on measurable business and operational outcomes.\nProvide Hands-On Technical Leadership\nServe as a senior technical advisor and escalation point for complex cloud, application, infrastructure, integration, deployment, and connected-equipment issues.\nEngage directly with architecture, design, configuration, logs, data flows, and technical diagnostics as needed to clarify trade-offs, identify root causes, unblock teams, and drive resolution.\nLead architecture reviews, solution evaluations, and technical assessments for strategic GEP initiatives.\nProvide technical guidance to internal engineering teams, operations teams, vendors, and external delivery partners while maintaining clear accountability for architecture decisions.\nStrengthen Operational Excellence and Reliability\nDefine architecture expectations for availability, scalability, resilience, recoverability, performance, observability, supportability, and operational readiness.\nPartner with engineering and operations teams to improve monitoring, alerting, incident response, root-cause analysis, capacity planning, and long-term corrective actions.\nEnsure new and changed solutions include production readiness, support processes, documentation, security controls, and measurable service expectations.\nUse operational insights and recurring issue patterns to influence platform roadmaps and continuous improvement priorities.\nEmbed Security and Risk Management\nPartner with Global Cyber Defense, privacy, legal, engineering, and product teams to ensure cloud platforms and applications meet enterprise security, regulatory, and contractual requirements.\nDefine secure architecture patterns for identity, access, network connectivity, certificates, keys, secrets, application communication, software delivery, and cloud services.\nOwn product security reviews, vulnerability remediation, penetration testing, incident response, risk assessments, and architecture sign-offs.\nEnsure architecture decisions appropriately balance business value, delivery needs, operational impact, security risk, and long-term platform health.\nWorking knowledge of security architecture principles, including cryptography, PKI, certificate management, IAM, secrets management, and secure communications.\nEnable Innovation and Emerging Capabilities\nLead proof-of-concept initiatives and technical evaluations for emerging cloud, AI, automation, analytics, and connected-equipment capabilities within GEP.\nPartner with Product and Engineering teams to move promising concepts from evaluation into scalable, secure, and supportable platform capabilities.\nProvide architecture guidance for AI-enabled and data-driven solutions, including required integrations, cloud services, security controls, operational models, and lifecycle considerations.\nPromote a test, learn, and iterate approach while maintaining clear evaluation
